Some AA meetings suck and some are great!

Why is that? I'm doing the 90 in 90 and some meetings seem so full of anger and frustration. Then, there are some meetings where I absolutely love listening to people and feel like it's a pep rally.

Do you take what you want and leave the negative stuff behind? There are times where I sense a feeling of resentment building inside me when some people are so negative. I really feel like it attempts to crush my sober-buzz.

What are the tricks to spin things into a positive? Or is it just the nature of the disease and you have to hear negativity in order to appreciate the greatness of sobriety?
